4 The restaurant is a small and quiet one with about 7-8 seating space inside. Staff and service are good. I tried the signature guddee iced coconut coffee, Guddee noodles and saffron milkcake. The coffee was thick, perfect sweetness, a bit too cold/ frothy, otherwise perfect! Loved it. It's a huge quantity as well. The noodles was perfect, one of the best I have had, full of vegetables and chicken, perfection!! Perfect amount of spice. Kind of indo-chinese taste. The saffron cake was a disappointment, ice cold and kind of old. Not recommended. Paid parking available. No fazzaa or any other offers.
5 what makes gudee it stand out is its amazing fusion dishes that blend flavors in the most creative and delicious ways. Every time I visit, there’s something new on the menu, and the combinations are always on point!

The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the staff is always welcoming and eager to recommend new dishes. I love that they’re always experimenting with flavors while maintaining top-notch quality.

5 Great place to get some comfort food. They are indoors only and their decor is great. Good place for a family dinner. Extensive variety available in the menu, definitely going to be back to try some of their other dishes! Parking might be bit of an issue in this area.
4 Very welcoming staff, lovely atmosphere, haven't tried the food yet, only their coffee and it was great. Although we stayed till very late before closing time, the staff were so nice and cheerful.
5 This restaurant is such a comfort place. I’ve been going to it ever since it was “goodies” and honestly it didn’t lose its charm. You can expect wholesome comfort food here and interesting dishes/flavors. Their menu is so versatile that it might get a bit overwhelming so good luck choosing what to get. I would recommend their signature soup :)
